I was looking for a certified epoxy contractor that can turn my nasty garage floor to a more…read morepresentable space and boy am I glad I found Lifta Epoxy Flooring. Abe from Lifta came out and gave an honest assessment of my garage floor fix and proposed many options and color schemes to fit my requirements. He promptly gave me a quote the next day scheduled start date on the same week. The Lifta Epoxy Flooring team arrived on time and with proper face coverings and started work on the floor. They properly prepare the floor which requires a complete sanding of the surface and repairing cracks before you can start applying layers. While his team worked he displayed real examples of all the endless textures and colors that can be applied. I took the silver base with gray swirls and metallic sparkles. The job took a total of three days (part-time) as each layer of coating (Adhesion, base, swirl, clear coat layer) needs ample time to dry and cure. In the end, the epoxy flooring looks amazing and I'm so happy with this work knowing it's also going to be a great investment into the value of my property.

Mike said it might take up to 2 weeks for the work but was able to finish in one week, which saved is from spending extra money on a hotel. He explained everything well and delivered a great-looking bathroom! We are very grateful, and we'll definitely use him again for other work.

My husband and I were looking to do major interior renovations to our single family home and…read moredecided to work with Mike in hopes to make the construction process less stressful on ourselves given our busy work schedules. Mike and his team executed the work professionally, responsibly and on time with an end product that we couldn't be happier with. Throughout the construction, Mike prioritized maintaining the schedule and worked with us through the construction issues that emerged. Most importantly, Mike provided his insight on the design issues demonstrating a sense of sincerity towards the project and ensuring good quality work. Mike was fair about the payment structure and the billing breakdowns provided made the payment process more translucent. If we had to be critical, there were a few days during the construction when no work was being performed, given this Mike still managed to deliver the completed project on or before agreed upon timing, we enjoyed Mike and his team's professionalism and we were satisfied with the end result.

I reached out to Joseph and his team to remodel and reconstruct my kitchen after discovering that…read morethe open shelving in my new apartment was poorly installed. The open shelving and the cabinets were not reinforced into the walls, had started coming loose, and were at risk of falling down. Joseph and his team solved my problem by building proper load bearing walls, and on top of it, helped to redesign my kitchen and reconfigure my cabinets space. The team handled everything from design, demo, ordering, move out/in, and reconstruction very well. Their attention to detail was spot on and I felt comfortable fully putting this project in their hands. Now I get more utility out of my kitchen from the details that the team put in--no more wasted space in cabinet blind spots, hidden corner lazy susan--and it looks amazing.

I paid Yosef Tatik of Forward Construction & Remodeling LLC $32,575.00 for a kitchen and bathroom…read morerenovation. He took the money and did nothing -- no demolition, no construction, not even a permit filed (confirmed by our co-op management). Then he went silent. I told him my 83-year-old mother's health was declining, documented by her own physician, and that she couldn't safely be displaced for a renovation. I asked for our money back. He agreed on the spot -- then never paid. Months of silence forced me to hire an attorney just to get a response. Through counsel, he has already admitted, that he owes us this refund. My mother is 83 years old and sick, and this money is needed for her medical care. Yosef Tatik has known that since May. He has let a frail, elderly woman wait for months on a refund he has admitted owing her. He took our money, did not perform any work, and has shown no urgency or decency about giving it back. Do not trust this contractor with your money or your family!

Michael and his team completed a gut renovation of my Manhattan Co-op. Specifically, this included…read morecompletely redone kitchen, bathroom, closets, living space, etc. I performed an exhaustive search for the right contractor and Michael exceeded all the others by far. Here is why: 1. He has a background as an engineer and is keenly focused on precision, taking immense pride in his projects. This means everything is measured to the T and the work is tastefully done. You really want someone with a sharp eye for the details and that was evident throughout the project. For example, Michael spent an entire day taking me on tours of his other projects (with permission from his other clients of course). This way I could see his work up close and also gather ideas for my own project. I particularly liked a radiator cover I saw at one place, and Michael custom designed two for me as well. (Pics attached) 2. He has integrity and remains accountable even after the last bill is paid - also every additional cost is communicated in advance so you can approve or discuss. No surprises with Michael. For example, after the project was over, I had moved in, and Michael had moved onto another project, I noticed a small crack in the crown molding that Michael and his team had installed. This was due to the intense heat in the apartment as the radiators cranked up for the winter months, with temps exceeding 80 degrees. As soon as I let Michael know, he came back within the same week and addressed the problem at no extra charge. I thanked him for coming and he said "no need to thank me, it is our obligation." There are so many more examples and to me, that is an impressive level of integrity in a tough business, and shows how much Michael cares deeply about the outcome of his projects. 3. He is in constant communication. I am very hands-on and used WhatsApp to communicate with Michael and his team on a daily basis. For example, I couldn't be there to pick out the grout to be used in the bathroom tiling, but had an idea that I wanted it to match with the grey tile on the bathroom floor. Before purchasing and applying, Dan (Michael's son) sent me a WhatsApp message with a picture of the grout they suggested for purchase next to a sample of the tile that was used for the bathroom floor. I was able to make the decision while from my desk at work. Depending on how involved you want to be, the team definitely accommodates. This way you can view the progress on a daily basis and be involved in as many decisions as you want to be. 4. It's a family business. Michael has brought his wife (Jenny) and his son (Dan) into the business. They are a close knit team and tirelessly together to make sure the job gets done. Each of them have unique strengths that they bring to the table and, to me, this personal touch just made the experience that much better because I had the assurance that everyone was always on the same page and always communicating. 5. He takes you shopping. One Saturday, Michael took me shopping to help me decide on all of the materials. I did not have to buy on that day, but I ended up picking out almost everything because the prices at the places he brought me could not be beat, not to mention the options were plentiful. I had used Pinterest to build a concept and this helped guide me throughout the day. With Michael's help, I ended up selecting: all bathroom and kitchen tiles, subway tiles, granite countertops, kitchen sink, kitchen appliances (fridge, range, microwave, dishwasher), air conditioner, kitchen cabinets, bathroom sink and mirror). Some other things like the toilet, light fixtures and door handles I purchased off Wayfair. But it was such a relief to get the main things done. So to sum things up, I was recently asked if I would do another renovation with Michael. The short answer is a resounding YES, and the long answer - read the above and see pictures attached.

After my first experience with a contractor I then asked the building which contractor they recommend and was told Hakka Contracting. I am so glad with the wonderful renovation Hakka Contracting did for my bathroom, kitchen, floors, and walls. They are very passionate about their work. I originally was only going to renovate my bathroom, kitchen, and paint my walls however they recommended that I add wood floors which I am so happy with. Their prices are great and they are honest. I highly recommend Hakka Contracting for any renovation projects you plan on doing. In addition Michael and Danny are very personable.

Needless to say, we were anxious going into this due to all the stigma associated with contractors.

We found much comfort in his reassuring nature. He is one of the nicest, most polite, contractors you will ever work with. You'll end up with a quality job that falls within budget and timeframe.
